Let's say I have an array reference which looks like -
my $arrayref1 = [[1,2], [3,4], [5,6]];
and, I have another array reference as -
my $arrayref2 = [[1,2], [3,4], [7,8]];
How do I achieve something like this -
push @{$arrayref1}, @{$arrayref2};
such that arrayref1 will look like this (excluding array references containing common elements) -
$arrayref2 = [[1,2], [3,4], [5,6], [7,8]];
Use a hash of hashes to represent the existing elements of the union:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
my $arrayref1 = [[1,2], [3,4], [5,6]];
my $arrayref2 = [[1,2], [3,4], [7,8]];
my %set;
undef $set{ $_->[0] }{ $_->[1] } for @$arrayref1;
my @union = @$arrayref1;
for my $pair (@$arrayref2) {
push @union, $pair unless exists $set{ $pair->[0] }{ $pair->[1] };
undef $set{ $pair->[0] }{ $pair->[1] };
}
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper \@union;
This will do as you ask
use strict;
use warnings 'all';
my $arrayref1 = [[1,2], [3,4], [5,6]];
my $arrayref2 = [[1,2], [3,4], [7,8]];
my $result = meld($arrayref1, $arrayref2);
print join (', ', map { sprintf "[%d,%d]", @$_ } @$arrayref1), "\n";
sub meld {
my ($a1, $a2) = @_;
my %uniq;
$uniq{"@$_"} = 1 for @$a1;
for ( @$a2 ) {
my $key = "@$_";
next if $uniq{$key}++;
push @$a1, [ @$_ ];
}
$a1;
}
[1,2], [3,4], [5,6], [7,8]
